Under the sand. Down where it's deader

discovered that the stairs leading to the surface were not natural stairs

The wall on the west of the city appeared to cause damage to the ancient city

the party discovered many clockwork soldier remains scattered throughout the city. The soldiers were destroyed in different manners in different parts of the city

In addition they found a larger clockwork soldier stuck in a repeating loop of punching and kicking

after avoiding the clockwork brawler, they encountered several beasts of a disfigured and beastial quality. Wolves and bats in particular for this encounter

eventually they happened upon a ziggurat that was still standing

inside the ziggurat they encountered several clockwork soldiers

after beating the soldiers they continued on to encounter Researcher battling a powerful monster

After noticing the party the monster lunged at them, and Researcher interposed, being bitten for a large part of his person

The party then noticed that Researcher was actually a robot. He gave them a dilithium crystal and a book and told them he would be in touch in the future. He also told them they would know him as Olidan

After this revelation, he told the party to run, and charged the monster and self-destructed, causing a collapse of the room

A Whole New Team

After finishing dealing with the Harpies, the party got ready to hunker down for the blizzard

Right before the storm hit, Heinrick and Naivarra met up with the party. Things were tense for a minute, but then needing to survive brought everyone together

2 days after the storm started Kayle rejoined the rest of the party

Once the storm had abated the party decided to continue heading west

Before they depart, the party lets the Gnoll who they had captured go

Heading west the party encountered the final remaining harpy, but the dragon they released killed the harpy before anyone got hurt

In the west the party discovered a desert

In the desert they ran across a new people, the Aiel

The Aiel spoke an accented common, and were a very strange people

After that the party had a sit down with the Wise One Belinda of the Goshien Aiel tribe

Later the party found an abandoned hold in the desert, and while exploring were attacked by another tribe of Aiel. They managed to win, but it was a difficult battle

Once they finished off the threat, the party found a tunnel down, and came upon an underground city, which the party noticed was littered with destroyed clockwork soldiers, and many of the buildings were ruined.

Rage against the dying of the dwarf

Some distance away from the ruins Kayle consulted a magic item, them leaped from the Razorback, saying she would meet them up in 3 days

The party came upon the ruins and cautiously entered them, leaving the ship moored outside

Inside the ruins the party encountered a small group of gnolls who attacked them

After defeating the gnolls the party discovered that a young red dragon had turned a room of the ruins into its lair

The gnolls had barricaded the dragon in the room hoping to starve it out

The party decided to release the dragon, and it promptly ran away

The party then continued to explore the ruins, finding that it was an observatory. Discovering a massive telescope at the top, which was also lacking power

In addition they found another voice recording, the transcript is as follows:
“(The voice is strained. As if in pain or exertion. It is male, and deep)
Hah! Well it looks like we won. We won and I’m going to die from a climbing injury. Not that it matters I guess. The east is a land of fire, and the west has died and become desert…….Land without water! Damn. I should have said that.
(The speaker is wracked by coughs)
Maybe one day they’ll call it a Lemurian Victory. A battle of extinction, you kill your enemy but lose virtually everything in the process.
(A heavy sigh, and almost a full minute of silence)
If anyone finds this, my name is Robert Cavil. I have a wife in Halani. Her name is Maria Cavil. Let her know I loved her, and that my final moments were peaceful.
Owl’s wisdom guide you.”

Outside the party noticed that a blizzard was coming upon them, and that the Razorback had flown off, leaving a note to meet them after the storm had abated

After that they party intended to finish exploring the ruins and encountered a small group of harpies

It's a trap!

Party gathered up the remaining eggs from the laboratory on Grippli island

The remaining eggs hatch, producing one normal grippli, one SLIGHTLY more humanoid grippli, one giant tadpole, and one pile of goop in total

Aevric, Farandol, and Omawnak accept the title of Knight from King Seamoss in gratitude for dealing with the problems on Grippli island Got spiffy lily pad medals

After that the party gathers their loot and heads back to the colony

Upon returning to the colony, they deal with some personal matters, and are eventually approached by the cloaked woman who previously warned them of an impending ambush

She informed them of an outpost that members of the Dark Blades were using, and told the party they could find the Drow there

The party set out, and found a cave the Dark Blades had been using on the island to the south

At the island the party sneaks into the cave, and effortlessly kills some goblins that they find sleeping and drinking

Shortly after a better armed group of Dark Blades surprised them and tried to kill them

The party was able to defeat the ambushing force, and capture the drow Sturm

They then learned that the Dark Blades were hired by the Korvosan government to destabilize the colony so a takeover would be easier, and “more legal”

Furthermore they learned that an asshole of wizard is part of the group, who currently is studying ruins a week to the south.

The party brought Sturm back to the colony and turned him over to the Captain

After that they were asked to head north to Grey Fang territory to request diplomatic talks.and following that accompany a flying ship on a scouting tour inland.-with a detour to the ruins to killthat fucking wizard-

The party set out, met the chief of the Grey Fangs who are Elves , Mohe who is a tree , and started the process of beginning trade negotiations

The adventure log is where you list the sessions and adventures your party has been on, but for now, we suggest doing a very light “story so far” post. Just give a brief overview of what the party has done up to this point. After each future session, create a new post detailing that night’s adventures.

One final tip: Don’t stress about making your Obsidian Portal campaign look perfect. Instead, just make it work for you and your group. If everyone is having fun, then you’re using Obsidian Portal exactly as it was designed, even if your adventure log isn’t always up to date or your characters don’t all have portrait pictures.
